Biography
Nazario Moreno Gonzalez was born on 8 March 1970 in Apatzingan, Michoacan, Mexico, and he had a religious Catholic upbringing. He moved to the United States as a teenager, but he trafficked drugs in America and was forced to flee back to Mexico to avoid being charged for drug trafficking. In 2004, he took control of the La Familia Michoacana cartel in his home state, deposing the imprisoned leader Carlos Rosales Mendoza. Moreno appeared as a Jesus-like messianic figure because of his philanthropic deeds to help the marginalized in Michoacan and his issuing of "bibles" on cartel conduct to his henchmen. In December 2010, he was reported to have been killed in a firefight against Mexican marines at his home, but he survived the shootout and went on to lead the Knights Templar splintergroup of LFM. On 9 March 2014, the Mexican Army and Mexican Navy tracked him down to Tumbiscatio, Michoacan, and he fired at the security forces before being killed in the exchange of gunshots. His death was confirmed, putting an end to Chayo Moreno.
